Linux Frequently Asked Questions with Answers
October 25, 1997
_________________________________________________________________
This is the list of Frequently Asked Questions about Linux, the free
Unix for 386/486/586, Alpha, MIPS, and some 680x0 and PPC processors.
(See the question, `` What is Linux? '' below.) This document should
be read in conjunction with the Linux Documentation Project's HOWTO
series. (See, `` Where can I get Linux material by FTP? '' and ``
Where can I get the HOWTOs and other documentation? '') The INFO-SHEET
and META-FAQ, which are found in the same place, also list sources of
Linux information.
Please look at these documents, and `` You still haven't answered
my question! '', before posting your question to a newsgroup. See,
`` Formats in which this FAQ is available. '' for details of where
to get the PostScript, Emacs Info, HTML and plain ASCII versions of
this document. A new version of the Linux FAQ appears approximately
monthly. If this copy is more than a month old, it may be out of
date.
